SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 482,432, datedSeptember 13, 1892. Application filed May 14, 1892. Serial No. 433.017.(No specimens.)

To all whom t may concern;

.Be it known that l, CHARLES C. ASHBAUGH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Detroit, county of l/Vayne, State of Michigan, haveinvented a certain nev.T and useful Improvement in Muffs; and I declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as willen able othersskilled in the art to which itpertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to muffs, and has for its object the productionof a muff inv which the external covering of the body part of the muffis extended beyond the hand-openings and the ends of the rnuf to form atubular wristlet adapted to be folded into the interior of the muff orunfolded to extend the same.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the muff in perspective with thewristlets extended. Fig. 2 shows a section of the muff with thewristlets folded in. Fig. 3 shows a section with the Wristlet extended.

A represents the body of the inuff, which is made in the usual form andof the usual Inaterial-usually some kind of fur-with a lining of silk orother fabric and with a filling or stuffing of cotton or mingled cottonand other material. The outer covering ct extends over the ends of themuff at a' and to the opening B, where it usually joins the innercovering c. At the seam where the outer covering a joins the lining C, Iattach a wristlet D, of which one face is covered with the same materialas that used for the outer covering for the inuif.

This face CZ forms the inner wall of the tubular wristlet D when thewristlet is folded into the muff in the position shown inl Fig. 2, andforms the outer wall or covering of the same tubular wristlet when thewristlet is extended in the position shown in Fig. l. The other Wall ofthe wristletD is finished with a lining e of the saine or similarmaterial to the lining c. Thus the muff and Wristlet when used in theextended form of Fig. 1 presents a homogeneous pleasing appearance, andwhen the Wristlet is folded in the structure presents the appearance ofan ordinary mutt. Of' course if it be desired lo make the outer'coveringof different materials it may be done, as myinvention does notconsist inthe material used, but in the extensible wristlet adapted to be foldedin out of sight or extended for the protection of the wrists of thewearer.

As a new article of manufacture, a muff comprising a filling and anexternal covering for the body thereof and the ends, the said coveringbeing ext-ended beyond the edges of the hand-openings in the ends of themuff to form a tubular wristlet adapted to be folded inwardly into theinterior of the muff and re- Versibly unfolded to extend the sain e,snbstanA tially as described.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of twowitnesses.
